Craft Masonry in Orange and Rockland Counties, New York

He was one of the founders of the Woodlawn Cemetery Association in 1870; he had been a trustee
since its incorporation in October 1870, he was treasurer of the Board at the time of his death, and
he took an active interest in the care, management and control of the cemetery grounds. He was
prominent in the Masonic fraternity—the only secret society with which he was identified. In early
life he was advanced to the degrees of Knighthood, but at the time of his death he was a member
and one of nine Past Masters in Hudson River Lodge, No. 607. His death created the first
vacancy in the circle of Past Masters. He was a Republican in politics, and for many years was a
familiar personage at the conventions of his party. He was a religious man, a Calvinist in faith, and
one of a long line in his family of stanch supporters of the Presbyterian Church.
Death came to him in the prime of life on 21 May 1888. Mr. Clark was a man of pronounced
opinions and prejudices. His convictions were realities. It was therefore necessary to read his life
between the lines. His mind was full of high principles, and he set himself to the rigid discharge of
all duties in life. But he could and did feel deeply for others, and helped them on the pathway of life.
He thus endeared himself to a large circle of friends by silent, helpful ministries of which the world
knew nothing. Such is a fair and temperate record, of a successful, but not brilliant career. Upon a
beautiful knoll in Woodlawn, touched early and late by the rising and setting sun, he and his
revered father sleep side by side
